    Timber trains - Baglan Bay?

    Yes, there are numerous sites around Devon and the huge areas of the Glynn Valley (Largin) that have been felled. Guess no suitable loading point could be found in Cornwall, but its nice to see the Heathfield Branch back in use, there were rumours of loading at Meldon, but dont think this is...
